02 Apr 2001 Thanks, my friend, for inviting me to your home. It took me 36 years but I made it, and it was just as you said, a beautiful place. I'm glad you grew up in such a wonderful island, and that you had a loving wife like Doreen. Keep an eye on us till we see you again. Your friend Dave Holden 7215 54th Ave. N W, Gig Harbor Wa 98335 anneholden@harbornet.com

09 Nov 2005 Thank you, my baby brother and all the other heroes who gave their all. We will always miss you and love you very much. We will see all of you some day soon. Love to all and God Bless! From his sister, Gerrie Rickard Cole P O Box 306, Salyersville, Ky 41465 hoedowners@foothills.net "He's Only Away" He is only away-in your thoughts and your heart,     you are always together, never apart; In your sorrow, remember-he's only away... Though he may not be with you     the memories stay... And in time, when the hurt     isn't too much to bear, whenever you look in your heart     he'll be there.

28 May 2007 Such wonderful childhood memories of you as we grew up in Lahaina. Surfing in front of your house, paddling those tin boats your dad made, and walking to school together. Our birthdays are a day apart. I thank you for being my friend. Roger A. Berg rog@catmanrog.com
